"诱辱豱辘"

A group of people were traveling on the main road.

Many refugees were still standing by the roadside not far away.

"Miss, look over there."

"?"

Qiao Wanwan looked in the direction Chunxia had pointed out to her.

There was a group of men, women, and children dressed in tattered and dirty clothes.

Their sallow, thin faces made them look just like beggars.

What happened to them?

Before Qiao Wanwan could even ask, Chunxia beside her explained, saying:

"There is a famine in the north, and the chances of survival are slim."

These people are refugees who fled from over there; they must have traveled several hundred kilometers.

Oh, how pitiful.

"... "

Famine can indeed be deadly.

Pitiful as they may be.

Why not go to the nearest town and beg for shelter?

Qiao Wanwan looked at the situation of the other team with questions in her eyes, and seemed to understand the reason.

"Waaah~ Mommy, I'm so hungry."

An elderly woman by the roadside had a baby in her arms suddenly start crying loudly.

The old woman was heartbroken and had no other recourse but to gently comfort her.

"Good child, just bear with it a little longer. There will be food soon."

"No, I'm so hungry, I want to eat right now."

A burly man next to him rubbed his ear, his face contorted in a rage, and cursed loudly:

"Damn it, what's all this noise about?"

They won't even let people rest in peace.

The old woman who was scolded turned pale and immediately apologized.

"I'm sorry, Dazhuang, the child is hungry, it's normal for him to be a little irritable."

Please forgive us, just for the sake of him being a child.

"Tsk tsk, ma'am, you need to get this straight."

You can't do anything right now; you can only rely on us men.

The burly man picked up a wooden stick and waved it in front of their eyes, scaring the mother and son.

The mother and son immediately hugged each other tightly, trembling.

The people around didn't dare to say a word and could only watch quietly.

They were used to Dazhuang's behavior.

No town was willing to accept a group of refugees.

They needed to find food until they found a town willing to take them in.

Therefore, we can only listen to a group of strong men when it comes to doing anything.

Dazhuang found the mother and son annoying and offered his opinion:

"How about this, ma'am?"

You might as well abandon your useless son and sell him off; he could live a good life in another family.

And you'll get that money, so you won't become a refugee.

The old woman's face turned pale, and she quickly hugged the child in her arms tightly.

They refused to let go, even at the cost of their lives, fearing that if they did, Dazhuang would take the child and sell him.

Reject his idea:

"How can I do this? He is my only surviving son. I can't abandon him."

Otherwise, what's the point of my life? Dazhuang, please, don't lay a hand on my son.

Da Zhuang sneered and said with dissatisfaction:

"Then leave the group! You're just hogging our food and doing nothing! You're a nuisance."

"... "

The old woman covered the child's mouth and assured Dazhuang:

"He won't cry anymore, please don't send us away."

"Humph."

Da Zhuang snorted and left them with the stick.

The old woman watched him move away before slowly letting go of his hand and whispering to coax the child.

"Don't cry, or they'll all kick us out. We'll starve to death on the road."

"No~"

The child in the old woman's arms understood his mother's words.

Tears, as big as beans, streamed down her face in a pitiful "plop, plop" sound.

Qiao Wanwan watched the whole thing and sensed that their team seemed to really enjoy causing trouble.

It's no wonder that other towns refused to take them in.

It's none of her business what these refugees are going through.

She looked away, drew the curtains, and stopped looking outside.

Suddenly, a woman's righteous voice rang out from outside.

"Brother Gu, please stop for a moment."

"Xu~"

Upon hearing Zhou Xinyue's voice, Gu Chaomu, who was leading the way, quickly waved his hand to signal the convoy to stop.

He rode his horse to Zhou Xinyue's carriage.

Looking at the woman with a worried expression, I asked:

"Xinyue, what's wrong?"

"Brother Gu..."

Zhou Xinyue pointed to the group of refugees outside, feeling a surge of sympathy.

"Seeing them like this, I really feel sorry for them."

There was also a child crying because he was hungry. So I thought I should help them.

At the very least, don't let them go hungry.

"Brother Gu agrees with Xinyue's intentions, but... we don't have that much food on hand."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Xinyue's worried face became even more distressed.

But then a sudden thought flashed through my mind: what Xiao Cui had said to her.

She thought,

Before leaving the post station, Qiao Wanwan seemed to have taken a lot of bags.

It's just that it's useful right now, so we can share it with them, right?

Zhou Xinyue's eyes lit up, and she set her sights on Qiao Wanwan.

“Brother Gu, there is a lot of dry food in Sister Wanwan’s carriage, which is just right to share with them.”

"Dry food?"

"Yes, before my maid left the post station..."

I saw Chunxia, ​​the maidservant beside Wanwan, taking a lot of naan cakes from the kitchen.

There was a whole bag of it, enough to feed our entire team for several days.

The maidservant beside Zhou Xinyue nodded in agreement:

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes."

What is she going to do with so many sachets?

Gu Chaomu frowned slightly, puzzled.

Zhou Xinyue, on the other end, couldn't wait to say:

“Brother Gu, you see, Sister Wanwan is carrying so many bags, but it’s useless.”

We'll still need food on the road, won't we?

Let Wanwan hand over the naan bread and share it with those refugees.

"You're right."

Gu Chaomu nodded.

Qiao Wanwan, a pampered young lady, couldn't endure any hardship.

How could I possibly eat coarse, large naan bread?

Anyway, it's just sitting there.

Why not take it and do charity?

The refugees, watching the convoy stop from a distance, stared intently at them.

It seems there's a chance.

"Dazhuang, shall we go over and take a look?"

"go."

Just in case, the strong men took some elderly, weak, women and children with them.

Zhou Xinyue saw the mother and child who had been crying earlier and slowly walked over.

She's overflowing with a saintly heart.

"Auntie, come here for a moment."

"... "

The old woman glanced around to make sure they were talking to her, then hugged the child tightly.

She glanced at Da Zhuang beside her with some fear, and he gestured for her to come over.

She slowly stepped forward, her eyes brimming with tears, and said:

"Girls, could you give us some food?"

Our group has been hungry for many days.

The child can't take it anymore.

"Yes, we are good people who fled from the north during famine."

Da Zhuang, who was behind the old lady, immediately explained their origins, dispelling any doubts others might have.

“Don’t worry, aunties, they’re so pitiful. We happen to have some dry food here.”

We can share some with you; consider it our act of kindness to help you.

The old woman was so moved by the news that there was food that she burst into tears.

"Thank you, young lady, you really are a living Guanyin Bodhisattva!"

We will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives.

Hope also flickered in the eyes of those around her, and they were all eager to try.

He asked impatiently:

"Where are the rations?"

Seeing how anxious they were, Gu Chaomu waved his hand to calm them down.

"The rations are on the other side, and I will distribute them to you according to the number of people. Please wait here patiently."

The refugees were extremely anxious, fearing that they were lying.

But since there were no rations in sight, they could only suppress their urge to act.

"Okay, then go and get it quickly, there are several people here who are about to starve to death."

Zhou Xinyue also advised:

"Don't worry, we will definitely give you some dry rations."

...

The carriage suddenly stopped.

Qiao Wanwan waited in the car for the rest of the journey.

Unbeknownst to them, their provisions had already been targeted...

I've been waiting for a minute already, why aren't they leaving yet?

Qiao Wanwan asked impatiently:

"Why don't they leave?"

"Miss, shall I go down and ask?"

"Well, let's go."

Spring and summer had just opened the curtains,

Then they saw Gu Chaomu and Zhou Xinyue walking this way.

She reminded the people in the carriage behind her:

"Miss, Young Master Gu and Miss Zhou have arrived together."

"?"

What are they doing here?

Qiao Wanwan stepped out of the car, her face full of doubt, and asked them:

"Brother Gu, Sister Zhou, why has the convoy stopped?"

When Zhou Xinyue saw her, she had a smile on her face.

This made Qiao Wanwan feel extremely uneasy.

"Sister Wanwan, I know you brought some dry food with you from the post station."

Could you spare some of your provisions and distribute them to the refugees behind you?

Qiao Wanwan frowned as she looked at the refugees they had brought with them.
